It has been so busy actually that even though me and my friend Mark have almost the exact same schedule we don't get to go out for beer Wednesday. So last week we did beer Wednesday on Thursday, Mark refuses to call it anything but beer Wednesday even if we do it on a different day of the week, and hit up The Shady Lady up here and treated ourselves to some good expensive booze. With the craziness of school we figured we deserved it.

We usually hit up Chicago Fire for beer Wednesday for their $2 pints of Pabst but we had just gotten paid. This is John and Mark at Chicago Fire

Mark is actually a big music kid. He actually built his own studio in his house. Even built his own mic booth and all the instruments are directly hooked right into the computer so anything you play gets recorded without further setup. It may not sound like much but as a DIY project I think it's pretty awesome. This is the main control area. I sadly didn't get any pictures of anything else in the studio. We'd been drinking all day so it wasn't really the first thing on my mind sadly.

Also earlier in the week my friend Kelli came back from Disneyland and knowing what a huge Alice in Wonderland nerd I am brought me some Unbirthday Tea back

My birthday is coming up next week and some of my friends will be coming down to Sacramento to hang out and have a few drinks. We're planning on getting lunch somewhere and then going to see what will probably be the worst movie in the world, which would be Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and then cheap drinks. The reason we are going to see this awful movie is because Ghost Rider was the first comic I ever read. It was in fact the comic that got me into reading comics. The first movie came out on my birthday and this one comes out the day after. This is great actually because it means I can drag other people to see it and they have to go (evil laughter). As soon as the group of friends that drug to see the first one saw the release date of the new one they all knew what was coming.

The rest is all school really. I love my classes so far this semester but they are kicking my ass. The plus though is that Sarah is in my detective fiction class. Sarah is an absolutely adorable girl that used to be in almost all my classes. We used to talk now and then but never really ever got the chance to actually hang out. Luckily this semester that has changed. She is trying to come out more but sadly lately our schedules are clashing. However she may be coming down tonight to watch Sherlock and hang out. We were supposed to do sushi and Sherlock but things came up on her end so we're trying to at least do Sherlock. Hopefully plans will work out.

On a side note I have started writing again. I have picked up my cyberpunk hard boiled detective novel again and plan on dedicating my Fridays to it.
